Pitso names Teko in Bafana squad for Niger

[Posted 25 Aug 2011][By Beezsports Reporter]

South Africa's Bafana Bafana Head coach Pitso Mosimane announced the squad that will face Niger away in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations 2012 qualifier, with the surprise inclusion of Teko Modise and the anticipated inclusion of Musa Nyatama.

Teko Modise has just returned to form, even though some critics remain unconvinced that the two time Footballer of the season deserves a place i the squad. Importantly though, Mosimane believes Teko has done enough to warrant a return call to Bafana.

Mamelodi Sundowns team mate Musa Nyatama, who has been in impressive form since his return from a loan deal at Maritzburg United is also called to the squad.

Orlando Pirates has six players in the Bafana squad, while Downs and Kaizer Chiefs contribute four players apiece, in a squad that is dominated by local players from the ABSA premiership.
